The Education Secretary John Swinney has been visiting Aberdeen - | :00:17. | :00:32. | |
as the local authority warns it may have to close schools | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Aberdeen City Council says the number of vacant | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
teaching posts has doubled in the past twelve months. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
It's accusing the Scottish Government of leaving them "twisting | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Council has 134 vacancies and it is warnings some schools may have to | :00:51. | :01:34. | |
close. At one point we didn't think we would be able to intake our S1 | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
pupils. We have seen numbers double since then and if this continues we | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
will have to close schools or classes. The downturn in the oil and | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
gas sector is proving a blessing and a curse. A curse according to the | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
council because people losing their jobs are moving away and taking away | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
their partners, many of them teachers. But a blessing because | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
there is a pool of people who could be retrained as teachers according | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
to the Scottish Government. Today the Education Secretary addressed | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
head teachers with a pledge to retrain redundant or oil and gas | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
workers as teachers but he said it was ultimately an issue for councils | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
to resolve. Local authorities have to take their own decisions but | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
obviously the government is prepared to work constructively with local | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
government to address these problems. The City Council is yet to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
confirm which schools are under threat. It is accusing the Scottish | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Government of doing little to help. Judo medallist Stephanie Inglis has | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
arrived back in Scotland to continue her recovery, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
after a motorbike Stephanie was left in a coma | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
after the crash last month and doctors gave her just a one | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
percent chance of survival. She's being treated at a specialist | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
unit in Edinburgh's Western General hospital, and her condition is said | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
to be stable. Senior figures in the offshore oil | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
and gas industry have called for radical and urgent changes | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
to prevent rapid decline. They say there are just two | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
years in which to secure A report by PwC includes a proposal | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
for a "super-joint-venture" It would mean companies | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
sharing profits at times, and co-ordinating their work | :03:00. | :03:14. | |
in smaller oil and gas fields. The Conservative cabinet minister, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Michael Gove, has claimed a UK exit from the European Union could lead | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
to Holyrood having But the First Minister, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, has accused him Here's our political correspondent, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
Glenn Campbell. The EU has a big say overfishing and | :03:26. | :03:47. | |
farming. Today Michael Gove suggested Brexit could also give the | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Scottish Government more influence over immigration. It seems to me | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
unfair that you have an immigration policy that discriminates against | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
folk from outside the EU. If we left the EU we could have an entirely | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
fair immigration policy shaped to the needs of Scotland's economy and | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
the whole of the UK. How would that work? Immigration policy for the | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
whole of the UK including Scotland is decided by the Home Office and | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
that wouldn't change if the UK leaves the EU. But what Leave | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
campaign is suggesting is that in those circumstances the Scottish | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Government could negotiate with the UK Government to have some | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
flexibility over who can and can't come and work and live in Scotland. | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
Trying out new technology in Glasgow, the First Minister accused | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
the leave campaign of inventing their own reality in an attempt to | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
win votes. It won't have power over men -- over immigration unless there | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
is an agreement to devolve power. It doesn't happen because we vote to | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
leave the EU and to me that is an illustration of the fundamental | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
dishonesty that lies at the heart of the Leave campaign. Nicola Sturgeon | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
would dearly like Scottish flexibility on immigration but the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
UK Government which Michael Gove Serbs is against. UK ministers are | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
not convinced Brexit would solve that. -- which Michael Gove serves. | :05:34. | :05:45. | |
A deaf woman has gone missing after a night out in Glasgow. | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
Kirsty Aitchison, a mother-of four from Robroyston, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
It's understood she was involved in an argument with someone | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
She was wearing a black top, cream coloured skirt | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
The Scottish Government has set out plans to widen access | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Couples who have children from a previous relationship, | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
will be able to have fertility treatment for the first time. | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
The number of cycles women undergo will also be increased | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
The Public Health Minister, Aileen Campbell, said the changes | :06:15. | :06:24. | |
would make IVF access in Scotland the fairest across the UK. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
At least 600 people gathered at George Square | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
for a vigil in memory of the 49 victims | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
of the shooting at a gay club in Florida. | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
People left floral tributes and lit candles. | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
The rainbow flag is flying at half mast above the city chambers. | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
Members of the public, activists, civic leaders and sports teams | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
gathered to stand in silence, light candles, and leave | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
A piper played laments and those who came reflected on why | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
People go to gay bars and clubs around the city all the time | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
All these people were trying to do was have a good time. | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Someone took offence to that and did what he did. | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
It shows that we are all standing together and are not going to give | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
in to fear or hatred or anything like that. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
As the rainbow flag flies at half-mast from City Chambers, | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
at least 600 people have gathered for a vigil in George Square, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
in memory of 49 people shot dead at a gay nightclub | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
From some who shared the shooter's Afghan heritage, | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
a keenness to distance themselves from what he did. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
These were all innocent human beings who are out there to enjoy | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
This brutal killer, the murderer, he was of Afghan origin | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
and we are Afghans, we are here to show solidarity | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
with gays, lesbians, transgender, whatever their backgrounds are. | :08:09. | :08:18. | |
The crowd applauded as two Police Scotland officers left tributes. The | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
Organisers said today that today's event was designed to show support | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
for LGBT people around the world and provide an opportunity | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
A man has died in a crash involving a car and a lorry | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Emergency services were called to the scene between Auldgirth | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
The road was closed for most of the afternoon | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
Scotland's companies have reported a higher volume | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
According to the Bank of Scotland's PMI report, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
the rate of expansion is at its highest for nine months. | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
But workforce levels have fallen for the sixth month in a row. | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
The three-week campaign to encourage owners of air weapons to hand them | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
A change in the law means air guns will have to be licensed | :09:12. | :09:21. | |
Police Scotland say it'll be a few days before they know exactly how | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
but they said the total of 6000 in the first two | :09:27. | :09:38. | |
weeks of the campaign, had been "a fantastic response". | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
Plans have been unveiled to return the Stone | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
The stone - on which Scotland's ancient kings were crowned - | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
has been kept at Edinburgh Castle for the last 20 years. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Before that, it spent almost seven centuries | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
in Westminster Abbey in London, where it was taken by the English | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
The plan to display it in Perth would form | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
part of a ?20 million investment in the city's | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
We think it will bring Invictus is from across the world, the Scottish | :10:09. | :10:21. | |
diaspora would be very interested and we hope to see them here to | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
visit the stone. A study by the music industry says | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
the value of music tourism in Scotland last year | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
was almost ?300 million. A report called Wish | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
You Were Here found that more than 900,000 | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
people made visits linked to festivals, | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
concerts and other music events. Today has been a somewhat cloudy and | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
damp day across much of Scotland. Tonight is looking mostly dry, clear | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
spells in the north but otherwise mainly cloudy. Missed for some of | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the coasts in the North Sea and the Glasgow area perhaps. Tomorrow | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
morning a fairer amount of cloud around. Across the south-west around | :11:15. | :11:21. | |

Aberdeenshire. Plenty of dry right whether in the Western Highlands. A | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
bit more cloud through the Western Isles with a few showers here and | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
across the Northern isles, the likes of Caithness as well, a fine and | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
bright start with plenty of sunshine. Some persistent and at | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
times heavy pulses of rain feeding into much of the north-east. For | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
many western areas and part of the south-west will have drier | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
conditions with some brightness and temperatures peaking around 19. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
Cooler towards eastern and more coastal areas. Across the rest of | :12:11. | :12:17. | |

especially through England and Wales. Some bright spells in between | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
the showers with light winds and highs around 19 Celsius. Towards | :12:28. | :12:32. | |

driving seat and we will have plenty of showers circulating around this | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
area of low pressure. The isobars tightening across Scotland and | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
north-easterly airflow so cooler and fresher conditions for most. Any | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
rain clearing away to the south through the course of the day and | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
elsewhere a mixture of bright spells and heavy thundery showers. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
